About:
Synopsis: Set in a parallel past where the Jewish state has been built in Alaska instead of Israel, alcoholic detective Meyer Landsman investigates the mysterious death of an addict chess player, and discovers evidence of an American conspiracy that resulted in the plane crash death of his younger sister. His investigation is complicated by the involvement of his ex-wife, the chief of police, and also the upcoming expiration of the Alaskan Settlement Act after which the Jewish community will have to find a new home. Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon continues to prove his keen ability to blend genre fiction with literature, and his exhilarating imagination is on full dizzying display.
Publisher's Note: In a world in which Alaska, rather than Israel, has become the homeland for the Jews following World War II, Detective Meyer Landsman and his half-Tlingit partner Berko investigate the death of a heroin-addled chess prodigy, a probe that leads them to Rebbe Fold, the charismatic leader of a mysterious sect.
Industry reviews:
"[A]n act of fearless imagination, more evidence of the soaring talent of his previous genre-blender, the Pulitzer Prize-winning THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY....[T]his book offers new evidence of his peerless storytelling and style." (03/05/2007)
"[Michael Chabon's] novel is a stunning act of imagination....It is one of the best novels in English about what it means to be a Jew, and how it feels." (05/28/2007)
